Duke Long was a bit puzzled.
He couldn't understand why this little ant was being so futile.
The others also found it strange.
Anyone who wasn't an idiot knew that Mu Yuan's Swordsmanship couldn't break through Duke Long's Spiritual Power defense.
Clearly, Mu Yuan wasn't an idiot.
"Could it be that he's trying to compete with Duke Long in terms of Spiritual Power consumption?"
Mu Yuan had drawn his sword hundreds of times, but his breath was steady, and his Spiritual Power consumption was minimal.
And using a Spiritual Power shield is different; it's actually extremely draining.
Hmm.
It must be like that.
Mu Yuan and Duke Long are in a battle of attrition.
Whoever lasts the longest wins.
The others could figure it out, and so could Duke Long. A ruthless look immediately appeared on his face, and a powerful surge of Spiritual Power erupted from within him, gathering on his arm.
"Phantomless Double of the Dragon's Blade!"
His voice was chilling, filled with a murderous aura.
He slashed out with his blade, instantly transforming into hundreds of thousands of blade shadows that filled the entire void, all of which then surged towards Mu Yuan.
Compared to this, Nie Daoqun's Nine Blade Technique was simply insignificant.
The blade shadows scattered, enveloping the four directions, and then contracted, like a net closing in on Mu Yuan.
If he could still dodge the Dragon Blade, it was only because it was a single blade aura, and he could evade it by seizing the opportunity.
But now… there was simply no escape from this inescapable net.
Liu Wan'er and Li Lang's faces turned grim as they witnessed this scene.
Mu Yuan also stopped dodging, because he truly couldn't.
He hadn't cultivated any defensive spiritual techniques, so he only had one move: the Draw Sword Technique, to draw his sword quickly.
One sword strike was needed to cut an opening.
Seeing this, Duke Long's lips curled into a cruel smile.
However, in the next second, his expression suddenly changed slightly.
Because he found that the white light barrier was shaking.
That meant it was under attack.
But Mu Yuan was clearly dealing with his attacks.
It was too strange!
Nie Daoqun had also died with a look of incomprehension.
Thinking of this, Duke Long's eyes narrowed. He then noticed that Mu Yuan had been calm from beginning to end.
It was eerily calm, so calm that it wasn't the expression someone suppressed by him should have.
It really is him!
But how did he do it?
Duke Long became extremely vigilant, but it was useless.
Whoosh!
Another sword strike came, and it came so unexpectedly.
Out of years of battle instincts, Duke Long instinctively retreated, and that lightning-fast sword gleam slashed past him!
It almost grazed his neck.
Pfft!
An arm flew up.
"My arm!"
Duke Long's eyes were bloodshot. Although he had escaped the terrifying sword due to experience, Mu Yuan still managed to sever one of Duke Long's arms.
Heaven pitied him. Mu Yuan had drawn his sword no less than four or five hundred times, but the frustrating thing was that Steel-Cutting hadn't triggered once.
He wasn't as lucky as the first two times, where it triggered with a single sword strike.
A zero point five percent chance?
Heh…
In Mu Yuan's view, it was either one hundred percent or zero probability.
However, the probability was still there. Even if he was cursed with bad luck, there would always be a lucky moment. Mu Yuan wasn't worried; he was already used to it, so he continued.
Heaven never fails those who work hard, and the Steel-Cutting effect finally appeared.
It even came with a buy-one-get-one-free deal, allowing him to sever Duke Long's arm completely unexpectedly.
"You… how exactly did you do that?"
Duke Long's face was filled with disbelief.
Not only him, but everyone else was stunned as well.
A moment ago, Duke Long clearly held the upper hand. However, in the next second, Duke Long was inexplicably cut off an arm.
All that answered him were three words:
Draw Sword Technique!
The sword's light had already ignited.
"Run, run, run! Run for my life!"
Seeing this, Duke Long immediately suppressed his hatred. At this moment, he didn't hesitate to unleash his Spiritual Power to its limit, fleeing towards the valley's exit.
Losing an arm had drastically reduced his combat strength; he was no longer a match for Mu Yuan.
His speed increased significantly for a brief moment.
"Trying to run?"
Mu Yuan was chasing from behind, and he chuckled softly.
"Whoosh!"
His speed actually surged again.
"What?"
Duke Long was going crazy when he realized Mu Yuan's speed had suddenly increased.
"How could this be?!"
"He was holding back earlier?!"
Just kidding.
After the union of body and sword, using the Draw Sword Technique to attack directly wouldn't allow for instant movement. However, if used in place of footwork, even Duke Long was far from being a match.
Mu Yuan, moving at an incredible speed, his body was almost a blur.
Duke Long could only vaguely see a figure stopping in front of him, and then his pupils contracted as he saw a sword light, like a meteor streaking across the night sky.
Puff!
The sword light flashed.
It easily pierced through Duke Long's brow.
With Duke Long's death, the entire valley fell into a deathly silence once more.
Whether it was Liu Wan'er or Liu Tairong and the others, or Wang Kangping and Yuan Xueyang from the West Spirit Realm, they all stared at Mu Yuan with extreme awe.
The shock and reverence in their hearts had reached an indescribable level.
With the cultivation of the mid-stage of the Agile Spirit Realm, to kill Nie Daoqun with a single sword strike, and to effortlessly crush Duke Long after he consumed the Crimson Blood Pill, what a ferocious record this was!
These people had always considered themselves geniuses, but compared to Mu Yuan, it was nothing short of laughable.
But this silence lasted for less than half a second before Mu Yuan spoke.
"There's no need to hold the challenge."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
What did he mean?
"Qingfu, the Earth Spirit Fruit you reserved is mine too!"
This time, Mu Yuan didn't ask, but directly declared his claim to the Earth Spirit Fruit.
Qingfu's face alternated between green and red.
He had originally thought he could at least be on par with Mu Yuan!
But after witnessing Duke Long, whom even he was wary of, being easily crushed by Mu Yuan, he was terrified.
Since Mu Yuan could kill Duke Long, he naturally had the ability to kill him as well.
"I... have no objections!"
Qingfu gritted his teeth and said.
His heart was filled with boundless resentment and venom.
But, he was also helpless! He could only endure it!
At this moment, the entire scene was deathly silent.
The Qingfu's Earth Spirit Fruits were all given to Mu Yuan.
Adding the other six, that meant all ten Earth Spirit Fruits belonged to Mu Yuan!
No wonder he had just said there was no need to hold the challenge. So that was what he meant.
Everyone had not expected Mu Yuan to be so overbearing, not even giving a single one to anyone else.
"Duke Mu, leave a way out for others."
"Duke Mu, we came all this way too," Liu Tairong, Wang Kangping, and Yuan Xueyang cautiously spoke up. They were naturally extremely displeased, but they still used a tone of discussion.
After all, Mu Yuan seemed easier to talk to than Duke Long.
"How about… we get a share?"
Liu Wan'er also spoke softly. Even now, she still felt like she was floating.
Everything felt like a dream.
Hoo! Hoo!
Li Lang couldn't help but gasp for breath.
It was truly shocking, so domineering!
